SOLD OUT: Hats Off Sunday Lunch | EXP at Roundhouse Presented by Hunter Culinary Association

This event is sold out, but there’s still plenty to enjoy at Crystalbrook Kingsley, like You Had Me at Cake with Emelia Jackson, the Cakeboi x Roundhouse High Tea series, and First Creek’s Cellar Door in the City at Ms Mary’s. And while you’re there, why not make the most of the Food Sleepover? The perfect way to extend your NFM experience.

Recently named Good Food Guide Regional Restaurant of the Year, the two-hatted Hunter Valley icon EXP needs little introduction. Hunter Culinary Association is pleased to present this one-day-only EXP long Sunday lunch as part of April’s Newcastle Food Month program. For this special occasion, EXP will take over Roundhouse, bringing one of the Hunter Valley’s most awarded dining experiences to the heart of Newcastle.

Owner and chef Frank Fawkner will present a curated tasting menu showcasing EXP’s intimate, produce-driven approach to modern Australian dining. The menu is built around the best seasonal produce available, celebrating local growers, native ingredients, and the quiet craft behind every dish. Expect bold, clean flavours, thoughtful technique, and the refined details EXP is known for, from house-made ferments and condiments to carefully considered finishing touches.

Each course will be paired with wines selected to complement the menu and highlight the depth and diversity of Australian wine. The pairings are designed to move seamlessly with the food, creating a considered progression from first course to final sip.

Set high above the city, Roundhouse provides the perfect backdrop for a long, relaxed Sunday lunch, with sweeping views, elegant design, and a sense of occasion that elevates the experience. This is a rare opportunity to experience one of the Hunter Valley’s most awarded restaurants in the heart of Newcastle.

Inclusions:
• Four-course lunch
• Matching wines or non-alcoholic pairing
